This place is amazing. The staff are amazing and were always willing to give advice on where to go. The room is historic, but that is New Orleans. I recommend embracing it. The pool was lovely, especially on those hot days. The hotel is located in the middle of everything. You can walk everywhere. Food options seconds to minutes away.

I liked the staff, the hotel was quaint but modern, and had its own direct access to a PJs Coffee Shop. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with a great view of the mighty Mississippi. We stayed an extra day, because it was hard to leave.

This is my go-to hotel when I want to stay in the Quarter. The rooms are all unique, and I absolutely love the courtyard in the middle of the property. It's also just far enough away from Bourbon Street, though only a few blocks, to be quiet and relaxing.
